Howard’s Beach in Cape May was a lovely place to go in September. The ocean had warmed up, the sand had cooled down, and the far less crowded beach still had enough activity going on for artists to paint. Eight of us rented a cottage and swam at this beach almost every day after painting. The rocks are the jetty just below Howard’s Beach – I thought it was fun to call this Howard’s Beach oil painting – Raggedy Ann on the Rocks.
